If they were POST derby they might have been very different!

Motherwell against Hibs - given that two out of the definite three games are at Fir Park, I'd be looking for at least four points from Hibs before the split. In the league, I think the top five are fairly certain, but Hibs will fight out 6/7/8 with the Pars and Killie. Motherwell's first eleven could finish in the top six, but the rest of the squad is astonishingly weak. If we can avoid too many injuries and suspensions we'll be safely mid-table - if we lose any more than two first choice players for a lot of the season, it'll take a miracle to avoid relegation.

Tight games between Hearts and Hibs- probably more than a couple of draws, and perhaps a win a piece, Hearts @ ER and Hibs @ Tynie. Pressure and poor football look likely to be the main features.

Games between Hibs and Aberdeen are usually close games, while we had a decent record against you in the last couple of seasons, I'm not too sure this season as Aberdeen have got an abysmal record against teams managed by Bobby Williamson. I'm taking Hibs to win the Easter Road clashes, with the Dons coming out on top at Pittodrie.

Hibs could have a long season ahead of them. The team does not seem to have been built for the fight in the SPL. Arpinon, O'Connor and McManus does not a team make. The derby score flattered Hearts but if Hibs cannot adjust to conditions or how the game is going, they will have a few more embarrasing results to ponder over.
And finally, yours truly!

Changes need to be made at ER. We need at least one solid defender, and hopefully a creative player. We seem to have a good squad, but they just need time to gel this season. If we click we could have a good one. but that's a BIG if.
Thanks to all the guys who took time out to give me their predictions on the coming season....thanks for depressing me even more!!! :)
